In a very sad story, Representative John Nygren's 25 year old daughter was recently arrested again for possession.

Twenty-five-year-old Cassie Nygren of Marinette appeared in Brown
County court on Monday after being arrested Friday morning. A report by
Press-Gazette Media said Nygren faces two counts of possession of
narcotic drugs and one count of possessing an illegally obtained
prescription.

Nygren's struggle with heroin has made her a face of
recovery and prompted her father, Republican state Rep. John Nygren, to
draft legislation aimed at helping addicts.

Rep. Nygren told
WBAY-TV that he's "disappointed, saddened, a little angry" but not
surprised by his daughter's arrest. He did not appear at her hearing.

Bail was set at $5,000 cash bond. Defense attorney Shannon Viel said it was too early to comment.
John Nygren said he won't be bailing his daughter out, and that she needs to pay the consequences for her mistake.

The sad thing for the people of Wisconsin and Nygren;s daughter, is that Rep. Nygren does not feel the same about Governor Scott Walker.

“We were thinking this was a witch hunt from the beginning; the judge’s decision only underscores that,” he said.

“What’s happening here is what happened in New Jersey in reverse,”
Nygren said. “It is equally troubling, especially when you consider this
is our political process. We are talking about stifling speech.”
